question for @dodys : is ":LTS" required for specific versions? It's not mentioned in the text description.
If ":LTS" always implied by the release versions itself (i.e. we know 22.04 is LTS, 18.04 is LTS etc), could we just omit this?

The LTS is part of the full name of the release, as you can verifiy in the Releases wiki. We just didn't include the .X after a release number because those are mainly to specify point releases/ISOs.

Thanks for clarifying! I've updated the wording here to make ":LTS" mandatory, and to clarify that the release number should be YY.MM. How does the current wording look to you?
Sorry for pedantic here -- it's important for us to clarify the rules so that vulnerability scanners can construct the correct names for matching.
